Show HN: I created an AI that turns YouTube videos into custom books

Without YouTube I wouldn't be where I am today. It has helped me with transitioning my career, my many DIY projects, various hobbies, and just general knowledge that has shaped my understanding of the world.

I believe many other people share the same experience using the platform.

With a large database of knowledge that can be used for self learning, why not leverage AI to gather areas of interests and collate that into a book that can be used as study material.

Rather than sitting through a long lecture video, or you prefer to read. You can generate videos into a book to read.

Try it out. You can generate the book outline with chapters without an account for free.

I also have some example books you can also check out: https://www.generate-book.com/#examples

Let me know your thoughts.

Something is wrong.

I entered this Perun video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9HTJ5gncaY) "Russia's Cooling War Economy" and it spit out a proposed book called "Mastering Personal Productivity: Unlock Your Full Potential" with a bunch of productivity chapters.

Thank you raising this. Something was indeed wrong with creating an outline for unauthenticated users. This is now fixed.
